ASRock is back with one of the hippest X570 motherboards I have seen to date, it is the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX-TB3 and as you can guess from its name, this puppy offers an ITX form factor, you house some of the best features of X570. Also, it is one of the faster motherboards for your Ryzen Generation 3 processor while offering PCIe Gen 4.0 and AX Wifi.

Again no, MSI MEG had the Wraith for testing, same for that recent ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula. Out of all the X570 reviews there was one tested with LCS, the C8H and now this one as the socket does not allow for the Wraith.

Really cool board. I'd love to play with one of these. I don't know about you guys, but i use a lot of AS rock motherboards these days, and have really good results.

I recently built a machine around the 3700X and this board.
I was able to fit a Noctua NH-U9S CPU cooler, with a second fan attached. I had to be careful with the orientation of the cooler, as there is absolutely no clearance left with the shroud around the USB ports and such. Yes, I had to use the LGA 115x mounting brackets. Noctua has a great motherboard compatibility wizard (https://noctua.at/en/mainboard/ASRock-X570-Phantom-Gaming-ITX-TB3)
Later, I should be able to buy an NVMe drive with a heatsink, as I put everything in a Fractal Design Define Mini C case and this line of cases has an open motherboard tray and extra clearance beyond that.
Basically what I'm saying is be careful with component selection and you should be fine.
One a related note, the most difficult part of the build was plugging in the ATX 12V for the CPU. The location can be hard to reach, depending on your case. It is in the back corner of the case. Also, I may have a hard time upgrading my RAM, as they're right below the CPU cooler heatpipes.

While it's no shock to anyone, performance difference between the 2 bios versions is pretty much within reason of each other. Basically people making a big deal about performance woes on the platform, blowing it out of proportion as usual.

Ehm, just no. But if you'd actually read the review you'd have learned as to why LCS is applied.
